The year (2011/12) I bought my D3S and D3X, I got them both
with the original Nikon protective screen. Right out of the box,
their screen were snapped on… and are still there.
So many little things like that that are provided by third parties…
Down the line, one is happy to have spent a few pennies more.
Well I also bought my D3s in 2011/2012 but apparently here in Europe they were not supplied with the hard plastic cover, though there are slots around the display for this purpose. The one from Hoodman was just great....but they don't produce them anymore. I will never understand today's business models....just keeping manufacturing new stuff, constantly, and discontinue former models vas soon as possible and spare parts as well to force customers buy new on and on. From an environmental standpoint this not very sustainable!
